A lot of people are predicting Ahmed to win even though he could potentially vote split wit Tuturro. And while I think he could easily win the whole thing, I just find it hard to see the Academy saying no to DeNiro in what could be potentially their only chance to award him.

The fact that Rush is ahead of McGregor in the prediction center is ridiculous. He is the only Genius acting nominee and appears in only half (5 out of 10) of the episodes, and four of those episodes are the last four of the show.

I’m predicting Cumberbatch, I think Ahmed and Turturro will split votes, I just don’t see DeNiro winning for Wizard of Lies, you may be right, that they want to reward him and might not have a good chance again, but idk if DeNiro is really that beloved by the TV academy. They definitely love Cumberbatch though, and he received a lot of praise for his performance, while DeNiro got mostly positive reviews but no one seemed to think he was at the top of his game here.

I see where you are going there, but I find it weird that they would give Cumberbatch a win for its worst reviewed season yet.

Yeah, but the episode that is competing at least got very good reviews as far as I know, and I think they like Cumberbatch enough to separate him from the show. They probably will with DeNiro, I mean, he’s a legend, I don’t know what’s making me not want to predict him.
